The country covers some 760,000 square miles (one quarter the size the continental U.S.). Much of it is rugged and mountainous. 60% of the country's landmass is in what's referred to as the "mesa central" or central plateau. This highland is bordered to the east and west by mountain ranges (Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra Madre Occidental, respectively), and to the south by a row of towering, widely spaced volcanoes.
